Today it is well understood that the physical reality that
we humans experience on this planet Earth is, in fact, an illusion
The basic building block of physicality, the atom, is a microscopic
solar system, 95% space and 5% energy. The energy consists of
electrons and protons orbiting a nucleus, a vortex of electromagnetic
force. Multitudes of atoms are bound together by some invisible
cohesive thought, to compose the forms which the human mass consciousness
interprets as objects in the physical world. "There's no
Matter, as such! All matter originates only by virtue of a force.
We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious
and intelligent mind." Max Plank (author of Quantum Theory).

Like all matter in our visible universe, the human body is
a cohesive, conglomeration of countless atomic nuclei, each one
orbited by varying numbers of electrons and protons (There are
about 110 different variations), held together and functioning
according to some intelligent Divine blueprint and plan. All things,
animals, minerals, plants, and manufactured goods are composed
of the same basic atomic elements which are continuously recycled
from one thing to another. In this sense all things, humans and
trees, rocks and automobiles, are equally alive.The animal kingdom,
with homo-sapien having assumed the superior position because
of its adaptable hand, upright position, and relatively large,
complex brain. As suggested by Max Plank, there is some intelligent
cohesive mind animating each unit of our reality; human, plant
mineral, substance, etc.This body I call mine and all other bodies
of other humans are illusory, yet we all are here on earth to
experience this scenario. We have agreed, unconsciously, to accept
certain limitations of perception. We have agreed to live and
interact as if all thought forms are solid. And so it has been
for at least as long as our current earth civilization has been
developing. The real you and I are not these physical bodies which
are born, live for a brief time, then return to basic atomic elements,
but we are immortal spirits directly connected to the Oneness
of Universal Mind - God. We are God experiencing Earth reality.

This is a big responsibility to accept and most of humanity
has been content to live a lower level of consciousness, limited
to mind, intellect, sensual pleasure, and emotional response.
There is nothing inherently wrong with such self limitation, but
it does prevent one from experiencing an infinitely richer, more
rewarding life on earth. The low level mass consciousness is also
leading humanity toward self destruction.

Throughout history there has been a minority who have chosen
to seek total reintegration of their physical, mental emotional
selves with the Spirit while still embodied. Some are born with
the desire. Sometimes it develops later. Surely, Divine Plan and
Angelic intervention are involved in many instances. Each evolutionary
path is unique and is perfect for the particular spirit involved.

In my own case, the Divine Entity we call Jesus was and is
a primary guide and roll model. To me, his primary message while
incarnate was, "What I have done you can do also, and you
can do more." Jesus demonstrated for me that the physical
laws of earth science and the human conditions of fear, conflict,
pain, suffering, and death are real only to the degree that we
agree to accept them. Jesus, as well as other enlightened Masters
before and after his embodiment, have demonstrated and taught
in various ways and to various degrees that everyone has equal
potential to remember and to restore our Divine Rights and Powers.
This is our blessed opportunity, now, here on earth. Each one
of us is, in fact, moving toward this goal of ascension in our
own way and according to our own Divine Plan. My own path has
developed in a unique way, a portion of which (not eating) I now
share with you.

_______________________________________

From time to time individuals have requested that I share my first
hand experience with the practice of breatharianism - living on
air and light and prana. Joan Ocean, a special friend of long-standing
has offered me space on her website.

Twenty two years ago I attended a seminar conducted by Wiley
Brooks, a self-proclaimed breatharian. Though his message seems
absurd to most people, it immediately rang true for me. I had
been exposed to the concept of not eating through the previous
ten years of extensive reading in the fields of health, nutrition,
and spirituality. As owner of a large health food store in Hilo,
Hawaii, I had followed a policy of knowing the products I stocked
and sold, including books. I personally experimented with many
nutritional products and various health practices. During those
years I drastically reduced and altered the types of food consumed.
Meat (all flesh), was eliminated, as was most highly refined foods,
sugar products, most breads, milk products, and highly salted-spiced
foods. Due in large part to the influence of health enthusiast
Paul Bragg I also engaged in regular fasting and colon cleansing.
By 1982 I was ready for the lessons of Wiley Brooks. Among the
practices Wiley recommended as transition diet was the consumption
of yellow foods, only: corn, papaya, cantaloupe, orange, egg yolk,
butter, pumpkin, etc.

For me the next 22 years witnessed a series of fasts, during
which I drank diluted grape or other juice, I interspersed with
periods of eating a simple and sparse diet of solid food. My longest
fast was one of 40 days. Other fasts varied from 30 to 3 days.
When eating I usually ate once daily and skipped eating totally
one day weekly. I would exclusively consume only 3 or 4 specific
items for days, weeks, or months. These foods were not chosen
for any claimed nutritional value but rather for simplicity, purity,
digestibility, and for non harmful effect to my body. By consuming
such small amounts and limited variety I was able to note specifically
how my body reacted to each food. Often, precise pains, skin eruptions,
mucous excretions, and bowel disorders resulted from consumption
of certain foods. Fasting would quickly eliminate such deviations
from optimum health. Without much guidance or social support I
have slowly made progress toward the goal of existing exclusively
on air and light. Fortunately, for most of the past 20 plus years
I have lived alone, thus avoiding the potential problem of coping
with a mate with different life style. I was, however, performing
regular, often strenuous work in the course of supporting myself
financially. I never experience hunger and rarely feel tired or
weak. My body and breath produce no offensive odor. The occasional
meager bowel movement also produces little odor. My blood pressure
is usually 110 over 60 or less, heart rate is 60, and temperature
is 2 to 4 degrees below 'normal'. The body is strong, flexible,
supple and mostly pain free. Cuts, injuries, and insect bites
heal quickly without medication. To me, these indicators are reflections
of an efficiently operating human bio-system which I have helped
create, and for which I am grateful.

About 6 years ago I first read Jasmuheen's book, Living On
Light. She recommends a 21 day transition fasting regime to achieve
the state of breatharianism. She believes that her technique prepares
one mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, as well as physically
for transition into states of higher consciousness.
With Jasmuheen's wisdom and that of Hilton Hotema, Leonard Orr
and many others (including Jesus), I now understand more fully
what it means to live on light and how we obtain vital energy
directly. Ascended Masters have long taught that breatharianism
represents the final physical condition toward ascension. Other
conditions in descending order are: liquidarianism, fruitarianism,
vegetarianism, and carnivorism. No judgment is intended by me.
Previously, my technique failed to adequately consider the vital
connection of body to spirit. Body, mind, and emotional aspects
had been relatively easy for me to master and control; Raising
my level of spiritual awareness sufficiently requires more focus
and practice.

I believe that we are spiritual beings experiencing the physical
earth realm. The physical is but a small part of who we really
are, yet it is vital. It is mainly prana (spiritual essence) absorbed
from air and light which sustains us, body and soul. Consuming
physical food is a choice the human makes. It is a very inefficient
and ultimately destructive way to glean cosmic energy for apparent
physical sustenance. Without question, I have personally experienced
the harmful results of eating. The only difference in consuming
'food' and ingesting other admittedly harmful substances like
chemical and radiation pollutants and drugs is the degree and
immediacy of harm induced. Harm to the physical aspect is mirrored
by harm to the other human aspects of mental, emotional, and spiritual
self. Fasting restores natural balance and health. If degeneration
has not been allowed to proceed too far, fasting can cure virtually
any dis-ease distress or diversion from optimum health. I have
personally experienced the miraculous healing and enhanced awareness
effects of fasting.

Totally eliminating the practice of eating is unusual but not
absolutely unique. There are other breatharians living today and
records exist of humans having lived in excellent health during
decades of non-eating The cases of Sister Theresa Newman of Germany
and Giri Bala of India are well documented. The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA) is currently studying a 64 year
old Indian gentleman who does not eat. The agency would love to
be able to eliminate food and the subsequent waste products from
its space flights.

For me personally, living on air and light and vital cosmic
energy is an integral part of my quest for cosmic (Christ) consciousness.
I believe that we all have this potential. I believe that body,
mind, emotion, and spirit advance together as one unit. As body
becomes more clean and pure; mind becomes more calm, quiet, and
focused; emotion becomes more mature, sincere, and spontaneous
in expression; and heart (spirit) becomes more loving, compassionate,
and god-centered. Physical and ego needs become less and less
compelling.

I have resisted sharing publicly my unusual life experience
until now for several reasons. For me, my journey is incomplete
and may always be so. The path alters continuously. Evolvement
never ends. Technically, the non-eating state has been imperfectly
achieved, so who am I to tell others. Nevertheless, having survived
in excellent health for 22 years on perhaps 5% of average American
caloric intake and perhaps 1% of food variety must have proven
something of potential value to share with others. This is my
hope.

Another reason for previously having chosen anonymity concerns
the response I often get from individuals with whom I have shared
my story; disbelief, disinterest, judgment, and even ridicule
A typical question I often encounter is, How do you get your protein?"
It seems that most people believe that consumption of flesh and
other high protein substances provide tiny building blocks of
some sort from which the human frame is constructed. I believe
that food consumption only releases qualities of stored cosmic
energy which stimulates hormones and organs to initiate and sustain
life processes. The body produces and maintains itself through
the wisdom and vitality and memory of living cells. The vital
blood system, with its miles of veins and microscopic capillaries
distributes vitality via gasses and liquids, not solids. This
marvelous blood system also collects and disposes of wastes generated
from constant cell growth and replacement. The lungs and the skin
feed and clean the blood through the process of respiration. The
large intestine carries away most of the solid waste.

Analysis of the human body shows that it consists of 65% oxygen,
18% carbon, 10% hydrogen, and 3% nitrogen. A total of 96% of the
human body is made from these four elements, all of which are
available in the air we breathe. Excess carbon and oxygen are
even eliminated by the breath in the form of carbon dioxide. One
can also say that the body is about 70% water, since most of the
hydrogen and oxygen atoms are combined in this form of molecule.
The other 4% of body mass consists of 37 trace minerals, all present
in ocean water. If one felt it necessary he/she could take a sip
each day or immerse themselves in ocean water where the minerals
could be absorbed through the semi-permeable membrane called skin.

Chemically speaking, the hydrogen atom, with one proton and
one electron orbiting a nucleus is no different from the other
100 plus chemical elements except that the other elements have
more protons and electrons orbiting each nucleus. These 100 plus
atomic elements comprise the physicality of all substances of
earth and cosmos: rocks, trees, animals, buildings, airplanes,
etc. Atoms do not eat nor do molecules eat. I believe that food
does not supply basic building blocks nor is it necessary for
supplying the life force which animates human cells. The human
body is capable of transmuting one element from another and of
absorbing life force from air and light.
Consuming food is not the optimum method for supplying polarized
energy to sustain life. Often, the energy required for processing
physical food through the digestive system, to say nothing of
processing drugs, medicines, toxins, and pollutants is more than
energy potentially available in the food source consumed. After
a big meal what the body wants most is sleep.

Over-consumption of physical food also signals the body that
the entity involved is desirous of storing extra energy for some
possible future deficit of intake. This extra fuel, or stimulant,
is converted to a substance called fat and is integrated into
body bulk. The heavier frame then requires yet more energy to
transport itself from place to place. It has less flexibility
and less desire to exercise and breathe fully, so the degeneration
process accelerates toward pain, disease, and death.

Another reason that I haven't previously shared my personal
experience and beliefs is that I do not desire attention for doing
the unusual, whether it be in the form of praise or ridicule or
anything in between. My main life goal has been and remains to
be Christ conscious and constantly connecting to the Oneness of
the Creator. Living on light is one aspect of my particular path
toward this goal. My pathway is not superior to those of others
who endeavor to accomplish their own unique missions in this reality.
I share my story now because the time seems right. A growing part
of humanity is awakening to its Divine Potential. May this information
be of benefit to you.

The amazing human body with its programmed bio system is a
blessed gift. Trillions of complex, interrelated, interdependent
processes are functioning in cooperation and in harmony every
second. I believe that the optimum way to provide what is required
to maintain this marvelous bio-machine is through deep breathing
of pure air, by ingesting pure water, by absorbing cosmic rays
through the skin and retinas of the eyes, and by consciously absorbing
spiritual prana through the chakras. It has been demonstrated
that wearing eyeglasses, especially sunglasses, blocks essential
solar rays from contacting the retinas, with degenerating consequences
for the body. Doctor John Ott explains this phenomenon in his
book, Light and Health.
Currently, I gaze at or toward the sun during the first 30 minutes
of sunrise. I do this while swimming in the ocean each morning.
During this 30 minute period of solar ray absorption plus another
30 minutes of vigorous crawl stroke swimming I am breathing deeply
and rapidly. This hour of sun-gazing, deep breathing, physical
exercise, and ocean water immersion provides more than enough
cosmic energy to maintain this body and to sustain it through
8 or more hours of strenuous physical activity, like clearing
the jungle growth where I live.

Some of the practical advantages one may experience by not
eating physical food include: 1. Excellent health and extended
lifespan [Lab rats have lived 2 to 3 times normal rates on minimum
caloric intake]. 2. Large savings of time and money. 3. No need
for kitchen, stove, refrigerator, fuel, utensils, toilet, etc.
4. Less of no need of medicines, drugs, doctors, hospitals, insurance,
etc. 5. Clear mind, pure body, and emotional peace. 6. Less trash
generated - bottles, cans, etc. 7. Few, if any, rats, roaches,
and ants in house. 8. Spirit sours and latent powers awaken. Potential
disadvantages might include: 1. Breaking traditions, social mores,
and habits. 2. Alienation of family, friends, and coworkers. 3.
Lack of ongoing food experiences on which so much social conversation
revolves. 4. Lack of emotional satisfaction based on taste, smell,
and eating out scenarios. 5. More time for potential boredom.
6. One less substitute activity for avoiding resolution of emotional
disharmony.

One justification for eating at least a small amount involves
the poor quality of the living environment presently existent
on planet Earth. Most humans are able to survive for a period
of time in the devitalized, polluted atmosphere because their
bodies have adjusted to a lower level of vitality to match external
conditions. This automatic adjustment toward "immunity",
like receiving a vaccination , causes the bio-system to operate
at various levels of low-grade sickness consistent with the environment.
The body usually doesn't immediately die, but vitality is reduced
and lifespan is probably shortened. If a healthy human living
in a relatively pristine, isolated environment were to be suddenly
transported to a modern city, sickness and even death might result.
The body needs time to adjust. This phenomenon caused mass exterminations
when Europeans and various indigenous groups first made contact.
Breatharians also face this challenge.
I recently spent two weeks in Houston, Texas, my first trip out
of Hawaii since 1995. After one week, bloody mucous was exiting
through my nostrils each morning. Most likely, the body was eliminating
air-borne toxins. This condition cleared after a few days back
in Hawaii. Had I stayed in the city longer my body might have
adjusted to a lower level of health.

Breathing, without question, is the most important physical
practice for maintaining physical life. Without breathing life
ceases within a few minutes. By contrast, most any human body
might survive for months without consuming solid food and a week
or more without taking liquid. Of course, many individuals might
die more quickly minus food and water because of fear and mistaken
belief. Death by starvation is real.

Severe lack of oxygen can cause people to feel weak and dizzy.
Eating food will not relieve this condition. Consumption of the
drug sugar, like the ingestion of other potent drugs, might produce
a temporary feeling of awakeness. However, such enhanced animation
is usually followed by an equally dramatic drop in energy. Thus,
sugared snacks, coffee and various pills enable a human to limp
and muddle through the day.
Deep breathing, on the other hand, produces real and sustained
energy enhancement. Athletes, such as runners, swimmers, and bicyclists
breathe deeply for sustenance; they do not eat while performing.Chronically
insufficient oxygen intake, whether from shallow breathing, polluted
air, or physical impairment reduces vitality, stresses the human
body, weakens defense mechanisms, and ultimately shortens life
span. The average human utilizes perhaps 25% of his/her potential
lung capacity, thus robbing the body of vital oxygen. The oxygen
and life force which are collected by the lungs passes through
membranes into the miraculous blood system of veins and capillaries,
to be distributed to every cell in the body. This same system
removes the waste of depleted, replaced cells and carries it to
the eliminative system. Human skin performs a similar function
of respiration.

I believe that the amazing human body with its self regulating,
self restoring, self maintaining mechanisms, when unimpaired and
undamaged, is able to live forever - has the potential for immortality.
There are documented cases of humans having lived for hundreds
of years. Some are still embodied. I suspect that all non-traumatic
death is self induced, whether consciously or unconsciously; whether
quickly or slowly. One way that humans accelerate the death process
in through the consumption of solids.

In my opinion, eating is a freedom of choice and results from:
1. Intentional and unintentional misinformation. 2. Habit and
tradition. 3. Social need and social pressure. 4. Substitute for
emotional upset. 5. Paradoxically, the fear of dying. 6. Learned
sensory enjoyment.
Whether eating or not eating a human can benefit from the daily
practice of deep breathing clean air, especially when combined
with physical exercise. If possible, it is good to expose the
body and the eyes to sunlight, daily. One hour of these practices
seems reasonable. Drink clean rain water, filtered water, of distilled
water. Avoid drugs, medicines, pollutants, and any other powerful
substances, if possible.

Be aware that you are directly connected with and an essential
part of Divine Creation - God.
The precious physical body has been loaned to you for experiencing
earth reality. Mind, emotion, spirit, and body evolve and ascend
as a unit. Attend to all aspects of your Divine Self equally.

You are serving a vital role in the Cosmic Blueprint. Love
all life. Be eternally grateful. I love you.

Aloha, Jack Davis

PS. As of December 2005 Jack's diet is fruit juice only, about
1 qt. daily. Along with fresh, local oranges, papaya, and occasional
other fruits. Once or twice weekly he also eats one small avocado.
